MAINTENANCE UPDATE: WORDPRESS 4.9.8

WordPress has released a new maintenance update today to WordPress core: version 4.9.8.

Version 4.9.8 comes with maintenance fixes which the WordPress core team deemed impactful enough to warrant a release. Also included in this version is a callout to “Try Gutenberg.” The “Try Gutenberg” button is available on the dashboard page of wp-admin. This button has been added to help users prepare for the upcoming WordPress 5.0 update that will included the new Gutenberg editor.
